Festins mortels

release date: Jan 01, 1998
Festins mortels
Dans cette brillante et passionnante enquête, Richard Rhodes, lauréat du prix Pulitzer, retrace les audacieuses recherches des scientifiques, lancés sur la piste de ces nouvelles maladies mortelles frappant " en secret ", que l''on appelle les maladies à prions, du nom de leurs étranges agents pathogènes d''un nouveau type, complètement différent de celui des virus et autres microbes infectieux. La maladie de la vache folle est l''une d''entre elles, celle de Kreutzfeld-Jacob chez les humains en est une autre, et l''auteur démontre ici les mécanismes qui les relient. Commençant par un festin cannibale de Nouvelle-Guinée, qui eut lieu il y a quelques décennies seulement, et dont tous les participants moururent des suites de l''une de ces maladies à prions, Richard Rhodes montre que ce mystérieux groupe de pathologies humaines et animales est en train de se répandre graduellement dans le monde entier, infectant et tuant des animaux de laboratoire et d''élevage - moutons, bovins, bisons ou cerfs -, des êtres humains ayant subi des interventions chirurgicales, ou encore des enfants ayant été traités au moyen de l''hormone de croissance. Et ce n''est pas seulement la viande de bœuf qui pourrait être dangereuse. Certains scientifiques, et parmi eux le prix Nobel Stanley Prusiner, pensent que d''autres produits sont peut-être infectieux : le lait et le fromage, le savon, les fils de suture en chirurgie, la gélatine et même les objets en cuir. Respirer de la farine d''os, comme celle que l''on utilise couramment en jardinage, pourrait se révéler un danger mortel (son usage a déjà été interdit en Angleterre). Richard Rhodes examine également les risques posés par certaines technologies en plein développement, comme celle des greffes d''organes d''animaux à des sujets humains. Festins mortels soulève la perspective terrifiante d''une maladie irrévocablement mortelle, impossible à soigner et à éradiquer, dont la propagation insidieuse ne pourrait pas être stoppée, sauf si nous agissons dès maintenant. Ce livre plein de révélations stupéfiantes ouvre le débat essentiel sur la question de la sécurité alimentaire et celle des risques posés par les nouvelles technologies qui transgressent les barrières d''espèces. C''est aussi un avertissement sérieux que chacun de nous se doit de prendre en compte. Traduit de l''anglais (Etats-Unis) par Marcel Blanc.

Trying to Get Some Dignity

release date: Nov 05, 1996
Trying to Get Some Dignity
Trying to Get Some Dignity: Stories of Triumph Over Childhood Abuse evolved from Richard Rhodes''s memoir, A Hole in the World: An American Boyhood, in which he told of the abuse he endured at the hands of his stepmother. Here is an oral history of child abuse--physical, mental, and sexual--and how its survivors dealt with it. While talking with victims of abuse, the authors found that "each strategy [for survival] was original, imaginative, off the books, a tribute to the canny resilience of the human spirit. Collectively, like breathtaking third-act reversals, they promised to lift the narrative from one of pain to one of triumph." Trying to Get Some Dignity will reaffirm readers'' faith in their ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their own lives.
